St Leonards Farmhouse0

The location was good. It was a few minutes walk to Marks and Spencers for any shopping needed and a few more minutes further on was the High Street.

I was disappointed that my 'Private Bathroom' was actually down the corridor rather than in my room as it didn't state on the website that it was separate, which may be my fault for misunderstanding as it would probably have said 'Ensuite' but the double rooms stated 'Private Bathroom' but were actually 'Ensuite'. It was supposed to be only for my use but was used by another guest which was quite annoying as they didn't pull the chain when they left. It would probably be better if the bathroom could either be locked or a sign on the door to say it was not for communal use.

I don't have enough room to write about all of the things I like so I'll try and keep it brief: The hosts were very welcoming and incredibly friendly. The room itself was homely, comfortable and I was sorry to leave to be honest. The facilities were immaculately clean and nothing was left to want for. I enjoyed a beautiful home-cooked breakfast and fascinating conversation with the owners. It felt like I was staying at a friends house rather than paid accommodation.

The property was very attractive and we were welcomed warmly by the owner. The room was beautiful, it had everything you needed - a fabulous bathroom and a very comfortable luxurious bed. It was just a very short walk to the town, the position was very convenient, with space for parking on the drive. Breakfast was expertly done with the full English on offer as well as toast, yoghurts and cereal. Altogether a delightful stay. Would definitely go again if we were in the area.

Breakfast was amazing, lots of choice, cooked to perfection. We had the choice to sit in dining room or outside as the weather was so warm which we did, around one large table where we met the other guests which was nice.

The only downside was the location being on the busy main road as we were woken at 6am one morning, by a large truck which stopped right outside to clean out the drains - not the fault of the owners of course, but we were expecting a ‘farmhouse’ to be down a country lane or a bit more isolated. But saying that it was very handy for walking into town or the meadows and river walk not far away was beautiful.

Everything! Our hosts were lovely and professional. The house was charming, spotless comfortable and homely. Breakfast was so good, lots of choice and very good quality. Tania gave us lots of ideas of where to visit, sadly we couldn't do them all! Location was key to our stay, 20 mins to most places we wanted to visit. Also a lovely stroll along the River Stour most evenings made our stay even more special.

The hosts really understand the meaning and importance of great service. A lot of planning and hard work has gone into ensuring that guests have an enjoyable and restful stay. Breakfast was freshly cooked to order with no delays and there was a great choice of food on offer. I can absolutely recommend this property without hesitation.

I actually can’t think of anything that I didn’t like.

It was ideally located and the room was fine for a single occupant. The hosts were friendly and helpful and breakfast was particularly good, including the coffee which isn't always the case.

There was nothing to dislike. I would happily stay there again on my next visit to Blandford, which is a fine old town apart from its deteriorating public transport links.

Fabulous place and fabulous hosts. Excellent location with just a 10 minute walk into town for local pubs/restaurants. We had a very spacious room which was very comfortable and it was so nice to be offered fresh milk and filtered water. The wonderful cooked breakfast really set us up for the day. Tania and Jon are perfect hosts who take a real interest in their guests (including our Harley motorbike)! St Leonard's farmhouse is one of the best b&b's we've ever stayed in (and we've stayed in a few). Highly recommended.

We loved everything, Tanya and John are incredible hosts and you are made to feel immediately at home in their beautiful B&B. There is so much attentional to detail in the rooms and the room we stayed in was so beautiful, cosy and absolutely spotless! Breakfast was delicious and Tanya took really great care of us to make sure we had everything we needed.

Excellent hosts; lovely clean rooms with a great ambience - charming woodland display scene set into the dining room fireplace was gorgeous; food was good and very well presented; altogether a very warm and welcoming stay.

Not applicable - had not realised the property was on a main road, but it was very quiet overnight so was of no consequence.
